Best known as lead guitarist of the The Beatles, George Harrisonalso achieved mainstream success as a solo artist. Smothered by the overwhelming songwriting egos of his Beatles band mates, John Lennonand Paul McCartney, Harrison never felt he was able to fully express himself as a member of the band. This along with his distinctive more eastern oriented style of music made sure that most of his vast backlog of songs was never released while he was with the Beatles. As tensions within the Beatles flared towards the end of the sixties, Harrison took the time to compile his solo material, from which he released his first album All Things Must Passin 1970. The album contains the two-time, number one hit, My Sweet Lord, and to this day remains the most commercially successful solo album by a Beatle.

Far East Man Lyrics
George Harrison
While the world wages war
It gets harder to see
Who your friends really are
I wont let him down
Got to do what I can
I wont let him drown
Hes a far east man
All these ups and those downs
Makes me question what love is
Is it a lie or worthwile
I wont let him down
Got to do what I can
I wont let him drown
Hes a far east man
Sometime is so short
But it takes so long
Wondering if it is
Or if Im wrong
Even then my heart seems
To be the one in charge
Can only do what it tells me
We cant let them down
Weve got to do what we can
We cant let him drown
Hes a far east man
Looks like right here on earth
God, its hellish at times
But I feel that a heavens in sight
And I cant let hin down
Got to do what I can
I cant let him drown
Hes a far east man
